Ashwin's stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment fund

Ashwin is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Ashwin was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in February. The oncology team at Mumbai Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Ashwin is 37, worked as a shop owner until February, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Mumbai Cancer Centre 5 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly. We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,750 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,200 • Scans and lab work: $140 • Transport to Mumbai Cancer Centre: $175 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50 • Household costs while unable to work: $185 Glad we found this place.

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ashwin

    • Ananya D. VenkateshOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

      Chemotherapy and medication not covered is $1,200 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.

  • Kai H. Jimenez

    Thinking of you and your family. Wishing Ashwin a smooth procedure and a full recovery. God bless

    • Mateo J. Álvarez

      Praying for you, Ananya. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together

      • Aditi G. Soni

        thinking of you, Ananya. I hope things turn around soon. After 26 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything

        • Leah D. Jones

          Stay strong, Ananya. Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

          • Amani Mwanaisha Temba

            Wishing you the best, Ananya. Wishing Ashwin a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Thinking of Mumbai.
